Labor News: 2005 in Review
More than 500 leaders and officials of the seven Change to Win federation unions met Nov. 17-19 in Las Vegas to strategize how to work together in organizing campaigns. Organizers, researchers, and communicators from each of the seven unions met to discuss campaigns and strategy to grow the labor movement. This marked perhaps the first time since the founding of the CIO in the 1930s that so many union officials met to discuss joint targeting and strategy.
Since a card-check and neutrality agreement took effect earlier in 2005, the Communications Workers of America organized more than 11,000 Cingular Wireless employees at former AT&T Wireless facilities around the country. Under the agreement, which went into effect July 1 for all former wireless units, Cingular agreed not to oppose union organizing efforts, and to recognize the union in a particular area if a majority of workers signed authorization cards. SEIU Local 925 won a union election among 10,000 home-based child-care providers in Washington State. The American Arbitration Association, which presided over the voting, mailed representation ballots to all home-based child-care providers that are licensed and/or paid by the state. Of the 3633 secret ballots that were returned by mail, 92% voted in favor of union representation.
